| Reverse description | A left-facing draped bust of Christopher Columbus dominates the central field, rendered in fine portrait style with the explorer's name CRISTÓBAL COLÓN arching along the upper legend. The denomination UN PESO and the geographic inscription AMÉRICA CENTRAL are placed along the lower periphery, flanked by decorative stops. The portrait is finely modeled with careful attention to period costume detail, befitting a commemorative pattern issued in connection with the 400th anniversary of Columbus's voyage. |
